Does anyone know of a C# tool that behaves in a similar way to migrations in Ruby on Rails?

So a rails migration is a ruby file which contains a construct and destruct method.

The point of migrations are to make amendments to a database (either structural or data). It's possible to apply changes to the DB and also roll them back. It's a really neat solution.

Here's a brand new one: https://github.com/dradovic/MigSharp

It has support for SQL Server 2005/2008/CE 4, Oracle, and Teradata. It also includes a nice validation framework that checks your migrations for potential cross-db issues and gives you hints to how to resolve them.

On top of that, it has a couple of more interesting features: multi-module support, deterministic SQL generation, etc. Read on here: https://github.com/dradovic/MigSharp/wiki/Feature-Overview
